Managing Complexities of Self-Directed Approaches

Jun 25, 2013 to Jun 26, 2013

Transitioning to the NDIS isnt easy and, as we move further down the path, a range of challenges and complexities have come to light.

Description:

Making it happen

With the first stage of the NDIS commencing on July 1, disability service providers have made transitioning to self-directed approaches a top priority.

Other sectors are becoming interested in self-direction too; most notably the aged care sector.

But transitioning isn’t easy and, as we move further down the path, a range of challenges and complexities have come to light.

This conference will explore how these more challenging aspects can be managed. It will do this through a series of presentations from leading thinkers, consumers and progressive organisations.

You will learn:
The key ingredients of a successful transition
How to provide greater choice and control to people with cognitive impairment
How to maintain quality without directly managing staff
How to ensure workforce competency in the self-directed approach
How to thrive in the new consumer-driven market-place
